Color

I've been binge-watching "Project Runway" and got the inspiration for this blog post about color. Do you have a favorite color? Do you like to dress in bright colors or more subdued colors, or black and white? I have a great appreciation for color and using lots of colors in my wardrobe. As a teen, I was more goth and dressed mostly in black. When I got older I started wearing more colors that flattered me. I love the color orange and wear lots of orange colors. People tell me it looks good on me and I always feel good wearing it. 

While at the art supply store this weekend I saw a reproduction of a color wheel from the 17th century.

Take the color quiz, "Can we guess your favorite color? at https://play.howstuffworks.com/quiz/can-we-guess-your-favorite-color

This quiz didn't guess my favorite color. I got purple and that's not a favorite.
